Ingredients
1 red onion, chopped
1 pointed sweet red pepper, de-seeded and chopped
15g butter
2 tbsp sunflower oil
1kg vine-ripened tomatoes
1 tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves, plus extra to garnish
1 tbsp tomato purée
500g pouch Asda Extra Special Fish Stock
300g pack cooked peeled prawns (from the chiller)
1 level tbsp cornflour
Crusty bread to serve
Method
1In a pan, cook the onion and pepper in the butter and 1 tbsp oil until soft and the onion translucent.
2Quarter the tomatoes, then scoop out the seeds and juices into a sieve over a bowl. Discard the seeds.
3Set aside two quarters of the tomato. Add the rest to the pan with the thyme leaves. Cover and cook gently for 10 minutes.
4Add the purée, stock and 300ml water, and heat until simmering. Continue to simmer for 10-15 minutes. Add the cornflour mixed with a dash of cold water and heat until simmering. Leave to cool.
5Purée the soup with a hand-held blender. Add 250g prawns and purée again until finely chopped but not smooth.
6Chill, then transfer to four soup bowls. Drizzle with the remaining oil and garnish with the reserved tomato finely chopped, and the prawns, the extra thyme and some black pepper.
7Serve with crusty bread.
